Obama hits the links with Alonzo Mourning in Fort Lauderdale

@LesleyClark

President Obama is closing out a fundraising trip to South
Florida by hitting the links at a golf club -- made famous in the 1980
classic Caddyshack.

The
White House pool arrived at the Grande Oaks Golf Club in Fort
Lauderdale to see Obama, wearing a blue polo shirt, tan slacks and a
tan/khaki ball cap, greeting people and shaking hands and at one point,
posing for pictures.

According to its website, Grande Oaks is a
private club that was featured in the 1980 Bill Murray film, Caddyshack,
and "offers members an exclusive atmosphere with some of south
Florida's foremost socialites."

Its gift shop boasts a
number of Caddyshack-themed gifts, including golf club covers in the
form of a gopher -- an homage to the starring role a destructive rodent
plays in the movie.

Obama's partners include former Miami Heat
star Alonzo Mourning, ambassador Ron Kirk and Cyrus Walker, senior
advisor Valerie Jarrett's cousin. At one point, the White House pool
caught a glimpse of Obama driving a golf cart as he pulled away from a
tee, with Mourning in the passenger seat.

Obama wrapped up a trio of fundraisers in Miami late Friday, including one event where he told two of Cuba's
leading dissidents in South Florida that he admires their sacrifices, a
rare White House recognition of the peaceful opposition on the
communist-ruled island.
